Lovin the white laces but why'd you lace them different????

Thank you! I actually found out about NT through a google search to find more info after I saw official pics of these shoes and this thread came up. Glad to be here and hope to be a long time contributing member.

Haha, you have a good eye. I was actually experimenting different ways to lace them up when I did the lace swap and I guess I forgot about them because I never made a decision.

I feel pretty stupid now because I've been walking around with mixed up laces and nobody ever called me out on it.

I'd appreciate any opinions on which looks better.

Thanks! They're actually a light grey color. I thought the stock black laces disappeared into the shoe, so I wanted to make the shoe pop more by matching the grey.

   Those look Very Nice with the grey shoe strings, they actually look betetr than the black. I have the pair from 2000 and the leather is definitely different on the 2012's. The leather isn't smooth on the 2000's. I might have to get me some grey laces.

you mean the black & grey joints?...
cause the white/black joints haven't been in stores for over 10 years - unless you know something yet to be posted
(there is a white/black esq lookin colorway releasing soon, but it's really white/anthracite-green or
white/dark grey-green)

mint - nice pic, 99% of the time i say go with the original laces, but this combo works
though i keep em black on my pair

Picked up two pairs with one being the HOH release. Gotta tell ya the quality is def. on base with these.Actually, I don't see much difference between these and the OG's. For the price they are a good deal. Looking to double up on the purple HOH pair.
